Merry Christmas!

As our hopes are finally here,
We have what we've been wanting all year.
All the people filled with joy,
All the children with many toys.
All around us the bells are ringing,
Boys and girls of choirs singing.
All the little colored lights,
Hanging, glowing, shining bright.
All around are Christmas trees,
decorated festively.
On window panes, icy frost,
Leave delicate patterns, crissed and crossed.
Hollers of joy from all the kids,
Opening their brand new gifts.
All are sitting on the rug,
Family give each other hugs.
Christmas day has now come,
Our endless wait is finally done.
With joy and happiness, peace and cheer,
Thank you all for such a good year.

Merry Christmas to all! Tis a time of gift giving and family time! Wonderful poem too, did you make it?

And, there is actually ice on my roof, not kidding Santa came too! However, boys and girls of my choir is not singing because we're on winter break

Merry Christmas! It's about 60° outside.

Yes, everything was written by me. I got the inspiration from this .

It was supposed to snow today, but no. Seattle hasn't had snow since last winter.

Merry Christmas! A few years to go until 2016!

Merry Christmas. Sure doesn't feel like it with this weather here in western PA. Over 60 degrees out.

Merry Christmas to everyone! It's also quite warm here, a ridiculous 14ºC.

Holy cow, it's about 15 deg cooler here and I'm on the west coast

Merry Christmas everyone!

Weathers been great. Storms (with rain and wind), rain, wind, rain, flooding, wind and 10-15C temperature all the way through. Did I mention the rain and wind?

I guess now is the time to remember its more likely to snow at Easter than on Christmas Day in the UK?

Ditto. The weather here in upstate New York is 45 degrees Fahrenheit (about 13 C), but apparently there will be 8-12 inches of snow on Tuesday... finally! I am quite happy about that and I wish everyone else regular weather in this crazy time of natural phenomenons.

I'll just be politically correct and say Happy Holidays! I heard rumours that there is at least one jew in this community so I don't want to insult him/her.

Thank you for being understanding. I have spent most of my active time in this community to work for an atmosphere that includes all people despite religion, race, lifestyle etc. Happy Holidays to you all!

Thank you so much.

Twas the night before PQ, when all through the house
Not a device was stirring, not even a mouse.
The marbles were placed by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Matan soon would be there.

The plebeians were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of world records danced in their heads.
And mamma with her Platinum, and I with my Gold,
Had just settled our brains for a long run to unfold.

When from my computer there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the keyboard I flew like a flash,
Logged into webchat and spammed lots of trash.

The moon on the breast outside my window
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature marble, and eight staff with cheer.

With a handsome little driver and a laptop turned on,
I knew in a moment it must be Matan.
Faster than speed boostairs his staff members they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Jeff! now, HiGuy! now, Threefolder and Aayrl!
On, Regi! On, Derpking! on Kalle and Uil!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now roll away! Roll away! Roll away all!"

As marbles that before the tornado fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the staff they flew,
With a sack full of games, and Matan too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little goof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Matan came with a bound.

He was dressed all in gold, from his head to his foot,
And his laptop was tarnished with crashes and soot.
A bundle of games he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a scrub, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had no challenges to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And installed the games, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his marble, to his staff gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like a gyrocopter on Thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he flew out of sight,
"PQ and Fubar to all, and to all a good-night!"

"Logged into webchat and spammed lots of trash."

In the spirit of the season,
I pondered out and loud,
But soon decided,
That is kickworthy.

Thank you so very much for saying "plebeians". It warmed my heart.
You forgot an apostrophe before "Twas".

I guess the true meaning of a marble blast christmas is the periodic reminder we will always be inferior to Derpking.
